So there is this setting max_request that the server keeps track of. The question is how i can find the current active request that the server keeps track of. My experience is the sever silently drops the connection if max_request is reached. So I want to find out more info about the current status of the server. Thanks Frank

In 2.1.12, there's no way to see that number in a "live" server. Alan DeKok.
are you sure? Then how do i know I run out of request number and need to increase it? Thanks Frank On May 11, 2012, at 2:25 PM, Alan DeKok wrote:

You read the logs. You CANNOT increase it while the server is running. The best approach is to set it to a large value, and ignore it. If you get errors in the logs about "max_requests", it means that something is catastrophically wrong. Increasing "max_requests" WILL NOT HELP. You will need to fix the underlying problem: usually a slow / broken database. Alan DeKok.
I will read the logs - but what I look for in the log? I already set it to a large value and don't expect problem but i wan to verify that by either find the "active" request number or look for something in log to make sure it is / is not this max_request problem.

Complaints about "max_requests" ?
There's really no magic. The error messages are as simple and as clear as humanly possible.

No.
the question

I already answered that. Asking the question again is rude.

Log messages containing the word "max_request" ? This shouldn't be hard. Read my messages. They're simple english. Alan DeKok.
Hi,
does anybody know this better? the question
you have already been given the answers on this one. question is what you have your value currently set to and have you read the text that comes with it? We have ours set to 1024 - which is maximum of 1024 active requests per client. to be honest, if we even had a dozen open connections from a single client that hadnt been dealt with efficiently we would worry.... our setting is more historical than anything....long ago it became apparent tha the database was the slowest factor so we fixed that aspect alan
